Remembering Our Fallen: Attack on Pearl Harbor

Remembering Our Fallen: Attack on Pearl Harbor

Tomorrow marks the 72nd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. This meticulously planned attack by the Japanese pushed the United States into World War II and fighting for good against the Axis powers.

In just two hours, an incredible blow was dealt to the American people as service members were caught completely off guard by the attack. For a thorough rundown of what happened that fateful day, take a look at the timeline of events that National Geographic has put together.

Let us never forget the hardships that our nation and its warriors faced this day 72 years ago, or what today’s warriors are up against. Please take a moment to remember what our country went through and those we lost.
